UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator - what precisely is their function and why are they available in data centers all around the globe?
UPSs and diesel generators are 2 backup systems which are kept by web hosting providers inside their data centers in case there are interruptions in the main power source or the current is unstable and unable to sustain the proper operation of the machines situated in the facility. UPS stands for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it is a powerful battery that works non-stop. It is connected to both the power network and the servers all of the time, so when the power stops, the UPS is already up and running, which prevents the machines from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is definitely an engine that can deliver the required electric power to keep the machines working for a longer period of time. In case there is an outage, the UPS provides the needed time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the primary power source is restored.
